SWP Records is proud to present three Zambian
legends: the sophisticated group The Big Gold Six
featuring the jazzy guitar of Bestin Mwanza, the
sweet singer from the province Emmanuel
Mulemena, and the cosmopolitan Nashil Pichen
Kazembe. We can now finally hear how they
sounded. And what we hear are three different
great vocal sounds — the Big Gold Six’s suave
harmonizing and Nashil and Emmanuel as singers
were both real personalities — and three great
guitar sounds. These artists were the most popular
of their era and essential to the further
development of Zambian popular music. These
recordings were made between 1967 and ‘76. From
north to south, Zambia lies geographically between
Congo and Zimbabwe, and in many ways
musicologically as well. When you think about it
that way, Zambian music just has to be interesting!
This swinging cd is the follow-up to SWP 027
‘Zambush Vol. 1 — Zambian Hits from the 80s’. So
once again, put yourself in a dancing frame of mind
and let yourself be zambushed.
